In this Grace Prayer Tuesday episode, we dive into Hebrews 11:13 and explore what it means to hold onto hope in God's promises, even when we can't see them fulfilled in our lifetime. Through prayer, scripture, and reflection, we lean into God's grace and remind ourselves that hope is not found in what we see, but in the eternal faithfulness of God.
Key Takeaways:
-
Heroes of the Faith: A look at the figures in Hebrews 11—Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, and others—who trusted God even when they did not see His promises fulfilled in their lifetimes.
-
Lori Ann Wood’s Story: A personal testimony of faith and resilience in the face of a life-altering diagnosis, and how Hebrews 11:13 became an anchor for her hope.
-
Moses’ Journey: During Jesus' transfiguration, it was revealed that Moses did, in fact, enter the Promised Land, showing God’s grace in a way beyond human expectation.
-
Hope in the Unseen: Understanding that God’s promises sometimes take longer than a lifetime to unfold, but they are always fulfilled in His perfect time.
-
Prayer as Surrender: A guided prayer using the P.R.A.Y. acronym—Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield—to help listeners lean into God’s promises with trust and surrender.
Scripture Highlight: "All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth." — Hebrews 11:13 (NLT)
Reflective Thought from Ann Voskamp's book Sacred Prayer: "You can only truly let go of what you’re holding tightly when you trust that it is completely safe in God's hands."
